A Pocket Full of Rye

A Miss Marple Mystery

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Richard E. Grant

In Agatha Christie’s classic, A Pocket Full of Rye, the bizarre death of a financial tycoon has Miss Marple investigating a very odd case of crime by rhyme.

Rex Fortescue, king of a financial empire, was sipping tea in his “counting house” when he suffered an agonizing and sudden death. On later inspection, the pockets of the deceased were found to contain traces of cereals.

Yet, it was the incident in the parlor which confirmed Miss Marple’s suspicion that here she was looking at a case of crime by rhyme. . . .

Always enjoy miss marple

I like the narrator he has good change of characters with his lives . Of
Course agatha Christie is the best .

Agatha Christie's finest!

Excellent plot with many twists and turns. This is one time that I couldn't identify the murderer until the very end. Enjoy!

Classic Christie

This is classic Agatha Christie - a large home full of often unlikeable relatives who all have secrets, and a clever murderer using a nursery rhyme as inspiration. I wouldn’t say it’s one of her best, but it solid, cozy, and enjoyable!

One of Christie’s best

Richard E. Grant is a fabulous narrator but this reading of MIss Marple is a bit odd if you’re used to Stephanie Cole or June Whitfield, whose recordings are unfortunately abridged.
His voice is mellifluous and is great for falling asleep.
I am going to try him in another genre.

Always enjoy her stories

Even knowing the story, it is fun hearing them read to me. The narration is great to have available. Agatha Christie is amazing.

Worth more than Sixpence!!!

This book is engaging and thoughtful, but you should be familiar with the children's rhyme.

Awesome narration

The narrator Richard Grant is simply fantastic. He is so enthusiastic and enjoyable to listen to.

Lots of Village to Choose From

This is one of my very favorite Miss Marple books. She is so calm, intense, sweet and hard. She's able to see when the innocent are used. And when the guilty appear worthy. I love the narrator, easy to listen to.

way better narrator than Emilia Fox

I wish the whole series was narrated by the narrator of this book. He is much better than Emilia Fox, though she is not terrible.

what a great narrator

wonderful mystery of course, and I was delighted with the narrator he was awesome. hopefully he will do more mysteries.
